I'm watching the preseason games online, but the quality is terrible. Me and a couple other friends who know Jake too are just gonna split the cost and watch it every Sunday together.

What site? If you're gonna split it then I'd probably go that way as well. The price isn't that bad.

I usually try atdhe or vipbox. It's decent quality for being free I guess, but it's certainly no HD.

hes going to be thrown to the wolves....our first five games are brutal.

I'm a little worried about this. He's going to definitely take his lumps and have some bad games, like all young QBs do. Hopefully the fans are rational about it, but that pretty much never happens.

New England
@San Diego
Detroit
@Houston
Minnesota
Pittsburgh

He'll be lucky to get 3 wins out of there. I see them beating Minnesota and then pulling one upset somewhere in there.

@ SD

@ SD is a 50/50 and @ MIN should be easy.

Hasselbeck has been in the league for what, 15 years now? You aren't going to have a future with him. It only makes sense to name Locker the starter and give him all the playing time experience now.

ive been to 85% of the games in LP history and i can assure you that the fans blame the QB for EVERYTHING. if we lose 50-47 its still the QBs fault. thats all anyone talks about. VY, Kerry, Matt, Jake....Its never "Damn our defense sucks" or "why cant our receivers make plays" or "why cant they block for CJ"....so rest assured Locker will be blamed

only team out of the afc south making the post season is the texans

god that division is awful



I'll wait to see how much our (Jags) offense improves before I go crowning the Texans. From the first two preseason games we look a hell of a lot better.

Jags aren't beating the Texans with Blaine Gabbert

When will people learn that preseason has zero indication of success or effect on the regular season? At. All.

As a Texans fan I worry more about the Titans than the Jags. But I don't really worry much about either this year TBH. Only way we don't win the division is injuries.

When will people learn reading comprehension? I offered no opinion regarding our success this season, much less base any such notion on preseason games. I specifically stated that I am going to wait and see how much we improve.

With that said, I did note a sense of improvement, which is not the same thing as predicting success in the regular season, having watched our first two preseason games. Preseason games don't mean much and they sure as hell don't dictate a team's regular season future. But they can offer a glimpse of strides being taken by the team.

Do you see how much more I have to type when you can't follow along?
